Breaking news: Carlsbad senior QB Kaleb Stevens out for year

Stevens diagnosed with torn meniscus in left knee

CARLSBAD-- CHS senior quarterback Kaleb Stevens will miss the rest of the 2014 season with a torn meniscus in his left knee, coach Ron Arrington confirmed via text messaging late Thursday morning.

"I feel bad for Kaleb," Arrington said in a phone interview this afternoon. "I feel horrible for the kid. My heart breaks for him because he's put in so much work and he's done so much rehab. He's nothing but every kind of leader in every kind of capacity a coach could ask. It's such an unfortunate deal."

Stevens had an MRI done on his knee Tuesday afternoon.

Stevens suffered the injury in last Friday's regular season opener against El Paso's Americas H.S. Rushing to the AHS 11-yard line in the second quarter, Stevens got hurt when he was tackled.

In last year's season-opening scrimmage, Stevens tore his left ACL and missed 2013.
